form candidate for the state senate,
had opened the Joint debate with a
sharp arraignment of the railroad's
methods, net only In its dealings with
Its patrons aa a common carrier, but
also In the pertinacity with which it
Invaded the political field, there was
tumultuous applause. But it was no
heartier than that which greeted
Blount when he roe to present the
railroad's aid of the argument.
During the Journey from the capital,
which hod consumed the nJ?ht and the
greater portion of the forenoon, he
had prepared his speech. His argu
mentthe one unanswerable argument,
as It seemed to him was the existence
of a law which presumed to limit the
earnings of a private or at most a
quasi public corporation, without mak
ing a correeponding regulation limit
ing the cost of such a corporation's
service. Upon this foundation he was
able to build a very fair structure of
oratory.
The Judge, bis opponent, was a rath
er turgid man, whoso speech abounded
in flights of spread eagle eloquence
and whose appeal was to the emotions
and the lmpatoe of his audience.
Blount, on the other hand, made a
typical lawyer's speech," calmly -dellv.
ered. logical In every syllogism and
appealing frankly to the intelligence
of his hearers. In every period of it
he was greeted with . generous ap
plause, and at the close of the meet
ing he had what the editor of the local
paper railed In his issue of the follow
ing day "an ovation."
Steuchfleld and his fellow commit
teemen, escorted him to the midnight
train, and no one in the crowd of con
gratulators was more enthusiastic than
the opposition chairman.
"That waa a great speech, Mr.
Blount," he said at parting. "If you
can go all over the state making as
rood talks aa von have made here to
night you'll tie ns all up in a bard !
knot But McVlckar won't let you da
it, not by a long shot."
Blount laughed. "There are no
strings tied to me, Mr. Steuchfield." he
declared. "This is a new deal, and I
am the dealer. Come down to tb?
capital and let me convince you that
we are out for open publicity and a
square deal for every man, including
the railroad man.
"All right,'' was the cordial reply.
"I'll be down along some of these
days, and If -yoo eaa show me that
McYIrkar Isn't going into politics any
further than you have gone here to
night I'll promise you to come back
here and tell the boys that the jig is
np."
Five minutes later the branch train
pulled out. and the chairmen and bis
fellow committeemen gave the depart
ing joint debater three cheers ami ali
other. When the red tall fights of the
train had disappeared around the first
curve Steuchfleld turned to his fellow ;
conspirators.
"Well, boys," he said, with a grm
that went from ear to ear. "I guess
we did It up ail right and according to
orders. I don't know' what sort of
game the Hon. Dave Sagebrush la
playing this time, but whatever he
says goes, and 1 reckon we gave the
young man a right pleasant time.
Anyway, he seemed to think so."
Blount did not reach his office la the
capital until the afternoon of the sec
ond day. His first care was to call
up the Inter-Mountain, and when the
clerk disappointed him by telling him
that his father. Mrs. Blount and their
guest had gone out to Wartraee Hall
he counted it as one more opporrunity
mfcwed and settled down to business.
First In the memoranda on his desk
was a stenographer's note asking him
to make an appointment with one S.
P. Hathaway, whose address was the
Inter-MountrJn hotel. Since the note
was marked "important" he told the
clerk to cal up the hotel at once, and
in due time the gentleman, who, the
stenographer said, had called several
times during the day, made his ap
pearance at the doer of the private of
fice. It was a mutual shock. Blount rec
ognized instantly his companion of the
Omaha-Aretas Pullman smoking com
partment and the man who had doubt
less sent the three highbinders after
him on the night of mysteries and who
had been the prime mover in the se
ries of singular incidents ending in the
midnight homecoming to Wartraee
Hall.
On the otiir hand, the president saw
lefore him th supposed agent of the
forestry service.
"Weil, I'll be hnngedl" he ejaculat
ed, dropping into the nearest chair.
"You nw-dn't be," laughed Blount
easily. "I'll admit that it was partly
my fault, Mr. Hathaway. What cun
I do for you tlay?"
By tkU time the lumber king had re
covered Ms breath and some measure
of his composure.
"Great Scott!" he said. "If you had
given me half n hint that you were
Dave Blount's Fon, but you didn't, you
know, and now I am handicapped just
at the time when I oughtn't to be. 1

, . r , i t.
going when I ou.uht to be coming. I ve
been given to understand that you are
handling the political end for the
railroad company In this campaign, Mr.
Blount. Is that ri.L-ht?
"It Is tind it In't." was the quick
reply. "The railroad company is not
in politics m tins carnpalRn as a po-
liticnl factor, I mean. What we are
trying to do what we mean to do Is
to lav the entire matter pir.inlv and
felrly before the people vrith a plea
for a square dt-al."
"H'm. ves." said the trust nresldent.
who was evidently suffering from n
fresh attack of embarrassment. "But
there ere certain little business mat-
ters which have to enter into every
campaign, and your company, like my
own, is obliged to take cojrnizcnce of
them. Two years ogo the railroad
neorle found it advisable and profit
able to cr make a little crranpr meat
wiih us which was to our mutual ad
vantage, and I called to see If it could
not be made again."
Blount Fat back in his chair, and the
conciliatory buii'.e disappeared. "State
the facts, if you please, Mr. Hatha
way," he said curtly.
"Well, It was like this. As you know.
we have a great m.iay sawmills scat-
tered around la different places in the
state, and we employ a good many
men. While our eiriloyees arc resi
dents of the state, they are not citi
zens in' the eense that they take any
active interest in state politics. They
may be here this year and up among
the Oregon redwoods next year and
somewhere ele the year following.
That being the case, when they vote
at all they naturally t.sk us how we
would liks to have thorn vote."
"Go on, said Blount.
"Well, as I say, such being the ease,
we are- able to control at least four
and protmbly five of the legislative
districts In tfc's state. The control is
worth something to yoor people, and
tn the last election that fact was rec-
gnlzed. Since the Twin Buttes Lum- j
ber company is practically the only
heavy lumber yhipper in this region, it
was given a preferential rate on Its
products, not at sll as a quid pro qua.
you understand, but merely in friend
ly recognition of our help in the last
eioctlon.
'Really, it was net such a grer.t
thing that was done for us. Mr.
Blount. If you are fr.miliar with lum-
rates ln ,his territory you will
knew that tim special ta.riC mnde .for
us Is all that enabics us to live. With
out it we would go into bankruptcy
inside of a year."
I'.'.ocnt had openi?d his peckr.'fa and
was absently sharpening a pencil.
"This spfecial rate you speak of. Mr.
Hathaway," he said, speaking slowly
"I imagine it is not confined to this
state."
"Well cr no,
was the hesirating j
reply. "To meet competition It has I
been made to apply also on through
shipments."
"And it is covered by rebates, I sup
pose?" "Knot exactly," -was the reluctant
admission. "The Transcontinental
company is a heavy purchaser of lum
ber, and the greater part of the differ
ence between the preferential and the
regular tarLT rate is taken no in our

and Vierich were riding in Vierich's
new fore-door Midland touring car,
while Wheelock was driving the
Green auto delivery wagon. Whee

street, while Vierich came from the
west on Sixteenth avenue. Neither
car was traveling very fast, but the
drivers did not see each other In time
to avert a crash. Vierich's car struck
the rear of the grocery machine, run
ning: it into the curbing and bending a

"Let me be quite clear upon that
point, Mr. Hathaway. You mean that
you are allowed to charge the railroad
company more than the market price
on the lumber it buys?"
The president of the lumber trust
nodded. "Yes: that's practically the
WSV of it " ho nlrr.lttH Thn ha
once more pre!lsei tne ttme worn ar.
gnment: "It's the only way we can
live and do business nowadays, Mr.
Blount. Like every other large cor
poration, we have a small army of
little shareholders widows, orphans,
charitable institutions and trustees
accounts. I have brought a list of
our stockholders, and I'd like to have
you look it over."
Blount took the paper mechanically
i and quite as mechanically ran his eye
down the listof names. At the bot
; torn of it. written in with a pen, was
the name cf Patricia's father, with his
i residence and occupation filled out in
full.

I written name Hathaway went on elo
j quently emphasizing the disastrous re
; suits that would fall upon the people
' for whom he was in the largest sense
! the trustee, the disaster hansrlnt unon
tbe withdrawal of the preferential
rate.
Blount broke him In the midst of
the special pleadings. "I see you have
recently added one new name to this
list, that of Professor Anners."
"Yes," interrupted the Twin Buttes
president, "and he Is a good example
of our stockholders. These lite An
ners college prvfesscrs. preachers and
the like buy stocks , when they buy
m at ail for an Investment and .pay
for 'em out of their hard earned sav
ings." . "I know," said Blount, frowning.
The fact that Patricia's father was in
volved added a fresh and exasperating
complication, but be must come to
some decision. "Let us get down to
the present tact, he went on brusque
ly. "What is It that you want me to
do, Mr. Hathaway?"
"I want you to set the machinery In
motion so that we can have our rate
continued for another two years on
the same terms as before. Yon are
going- to need every vote you can get
this year, Mr. Blount, and you can't
afford to torn us down."
Blount returned the printed list of
stockholders and fell back upon the
pen en sharpening-. "Is U possible that
you dont recognize the bald criminal
ity of such a trajunctlon. Mr. Hath
, away?" he asked quietly.
"Of course I dont," was the. ready
reply. "It Is the universal rule of the
business world everywhere. You do
something for me and I do something'
for you. You make It possible for us
to lire and do business in lumber, and
we wCl do what we can to make ir
possible for you to get your square
deal from the people of this state.
That's the whole thing m a nutshell,
Mr. Blount"
"One Question,' snapped Bloont,
trying to fix the roving gaze of the
hawklike eyes. "With whom did you
make this arrangement two years
ago?"
"With Mr. McVlckar himself."
"And you thlak you can do It
again T
"I know I can, but I don't want to
go over your head. They all tell me
that you are handling this end of It
for the railroad company, and I'm not
going around hunting a chance to
make enemies. There's no hurry.
Take your own time to think It over
and to communicate with Mr. Mc
Vlckar if you want to. When you get
things fixed you can wire me Just one
word to Aretas. Just say rYes and
sign your name to It, and that will be
enough."
For a full half hour after the presi
dent of the lumber trust had closed
the door of tbe private office in the
Temple court building behind him
Blount sat rocking gently in his pivot
chair, fighting once more with the
soul nausea which was threatening to
overwhelm him.
So Vice President McVlckar had de
ceived him after all, and be was mere
ly a fence put up to screen the chican
ery and trickery which were going on
Just the same as before. More, the
vice president had let him stultify
himself in a thousand ways. All bis
brave talk about openness and fair
dealing would be set down as mere
dust throwing to conceal the workings
of a corrupt and criminal machine,
grinding away in the background.
And his father how did he figure
In this despicable business? Had he
plotted with McVlckar to bring hi3
own son to shame merely because that
son had refused to be a tool In tbe
hands of the great machine? It was
grossly incredible, and yet Evan
Blount remembered that thus far his
father had said no word opposing the
course he had taken. Could it be pos
sible that a father could become so
much the boss as to forget the com.
mon ties of kindred?
Blount's mind but more than his
mind, his heart went groping out la

adviser. There was no one to whom
be could turn, no one whose conscience
was not seared and distorted in the
fires of political partisanship. No one.

came to the door of the anteroom,

"No!" said Blount almost savage
ly. Then he reconsidered. "Yes, there

The stenographer nodded.
"All right; take this:

GREATEST
OF ALL TO MI.CS
GREATEST OF ALL
BLOOO PURIFIERS
Any system that needs a tonic needs also a blood purifier, for it is
the weakened and impure condition of the circulation that is responsible
for the run-down state of health. We have only to recognize the
importance of pure, rich blood in preserving health, to realize the danger
of a weakened or impure circulation. The great majority of persons
are rapidly coming to understand the importance of preventing disease;
they know that a poorly nourished system cannot resist germs and
microbes, and that a tonic which purifies and enriches the blood will
often ward off a serious spell of illness later on.
That Spring is the most trying season on the health is a fact well
known to every one. It is the time of year when our constitutions are
required to stand the greatest strain, and unless the system receives
the proper amount of blood nutriment the health is bound to be affected.
The general bodily weakness, tired, worn-out feeling, fickle appetite,
poor digestion, etc., come directly as a result of weak, watery blood.
If you need a tonic, you need a medicine that has real blood puri
fying properties. A great many so called tonics are mere nerve stim
ulants, often producing instantaneous exhilarating effect, but acting
with decided injury on the system. If your system is weak and run
down you can only tone it up by supplying an increased amount of
blood nutriment, and this can come only through pure, rich blood.
Any tonic which does not purify the blood is dangerous, because it leaves
the impurities in the circulation to constantly prey upon the health.
S. S. S. is the greatest of all tonics because it is the greatest of all
blood purifiers ; and it is the one medicine you can rely on to supply
inc system wun inc ocsi ionic
effects and at the same time thor
oughly purify the blood. The
use of S. S. S. at this time may
save you from a long spell of
sickness, and it will certainly pre
pare you for the strain of the long
not Summer. Many people have
put off using a tonic until the sys
tem became so weakened it could
not resist disease, and have paid
for the neglect later on with a
spell of fever, malaria, or some
other debilitating sickness. S. S. S.
is Nature's ideal tonic and blood
purifier. It does not contain a
particle of mineral in any form,
nor does it contain any of the
deleterious nerve stimulants that
are used in so many medicines
called tonics. S. S. S. tones up the stomach and digestion, rids one of
the tired, worn-out feeling, improves the appetite and digestion, and in
every way contributes to the upbuilding and strengthening of the
entire system. S. S. S. is absolutely safe for persons of any age, and
all who are in need of a tonic will find this medicine exactly suited to
their needs. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA. OA.

FEELS BETTER IN EVERY WAY
S. S. & is a good medicine. I keep
it in the house all the while. It is an
excellent tonic to give strength to the
system and tone to all the physical
members. It gives appetite and
energy and makes one feel better in
every way. I have found it also an
excellent blood punier. For months
I was troubled with an itching skin
eruption on the face, and tried many
specialists and many remedies to get
a cure, but S. S, S. is the only medicine
that seemed to relieve. I am now free
of this eruption. I think a great deal
of your medicine, believing it to be
the best blood purifier and tonic known
to the world today.
